I just wanted to share a favorite strategy of mine. I never saw it posted before Everyone knows that tundra at the north and south is useless right? WRONG
first found the city in the tundra and set its production to wealth, and set their lone citizen to a taxman. Since the city square will produce one gpt, wealth will produce 1gpt, and the taxman 2gpt (in C3C), that "useless city" is now making you 4gpt.
now, I will plaster the tundra with an ICS of size 1 cities. Just look at the picture, my useless tundra is now earning me 88gpt!!!! plus it adds an equivalent amount of support for units based on your government (a whopping 132 in communism if you use that)
I'll even usually only have about 5 fast units protecting the entire lot of them during wartime. The AI tends to not go for them unless they are close.
Never again is Tundra useless. Plus, you can turn one of those taxmen into a scientist to research at slowest rate!
